    Moving to a regular bike from e-bike

    I would buy some used bikes to see if I genuinely wanted to switch back. If you always sucked at climbing, imagine climbing with camping gear. Once you are committed to a big purchase, Van Nicholas ticks all your boxes, but it would probably be cheaper to get a Lynskey and mod it to your...

    Some real comfortable bar grips? My ergon grips are a pain in the ...... wrist !

    I find the discomfort with straight bar bikes comes from the limited number of hand positions. To solve this problem, my pedal bikes have bar ends or brahma bars with sponge foam handle bar covers. My ebike has old-school wide-spaced aerobars like in the picture below. I haven't made long...

    Super Commuter Version 1.1

    I am reading from the website, "Our batteries charge up to 80% in just 2 hours. This means less time charging and more time riding!" This must be referring to the 11.6Ah battery. Sorry for the confusion I have created.

    Super Commuter Version 1.1

    The Juggernaut has a 1008Whr battery that weighs 11 lbs with estimated 70-100 km per charge (estimated recharging of 80% in 2 hours). I would like to travel Edmonton to Calgary (about 300 km). With the Juggernaut, this trip could potentially be done with 2 batteries and 2 chargers with one stop...

    Super Commuter Version 1.1

    Hi Feliz, I am a new Edmontonian (5 years) from Ontario. I haven't had a problem with gears and chain on the Juggernaut to consider a switch to Rohloff. The Juggernaut runs so well that I am reluctant to make these kinds of changes. I use the Juggernaut for winter commuting with the stock 26 x...

    Super Commuter Version 1.1

    The Juggernaut is limited to a top speed of 50 km/h (which can be reprogrammed from the display), which is the residential speed limit in Edmonton, Alberta. I actually can only easily reach this speed limit with the throttle (Pedaling at level 5 assist gets me to about 32 km/h); the bike...

    Super Commuter Version 1.1

    I wish you were working with Biktrix, so that we could get a 1000W (1500W peak) option on the Super Commuter, like we can now with the Juggernaut.

    Super Commuter Version 1.1

    Is there a website with the specs for this bike? What is the wheel diameter, and what tires will it accommodate? Thanks.

    Super Commuter Version 1.1

    Thanks for the reply. I have mixed feelings about the Audi-style battery; I get about 50% more Watt hours but in a bulkier battery design. With the traditional design, I get 100% more Watt hours for each spare battery I carry, plus quicker recharging time if I bring extra rechargers. Also, I...

    Does anyone have both Rohloff Hub/Gates Carbon Drive and traditional rear derailleur/chain mid-drive ebikes?

    I am curious about the opinions of those with experience with both systems regarding the relative merits. I have the latter (Biktrix Juggernaut), and I am curious about the former (such as Ravi's Super Commuter: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/super-commuter-version-1-1.27128/)...

    Super Commuter Version 1.1

    Great looking bike. I would like it even better if a spare battery could be mounted in the main triangle. Hopefully, the battery can be switched on the go.

    How much suspension travel needed?

    This guy goes down stairs on a road bike with no suspension and thin tires: He clearly has excellent balance to allow him to descend at slow speed and even execute turns while descending although he does admit to getting occasional pinch flats. None of my bikes have front/rear/seat suspension...

    What's it like to ride a fat bike?

    I got my fat bike (Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra1000) in winter, but I have alternated riding it this spring with a flat bar road bike (Rocky Mountain RC70) and mountain bike (2003 Specialized Rockhopper Comp). I find the RC70 and Rockhopper easier to maneuver through hairpin turns (pedestrian...

    If the Juggernaut Ultra 1000 is power limited to 500W, does it still have 160Nm torque?

    I ordered mine power limited, but I just noticed that there is a Watt meter on the display, and mine goes up to 1500W. I also looked at the adjustable settings here, and it looks like my bike is top speed limited to 50 km/h (I could adjust this if I wanted to). I actually get to 50 km/h (the...

    Plugging in heated snowmobile helmet visor to front light wire of Ultra 1000?

    Thanks for the recommendation, I wear Savior electric gloves and Verseo electric socks; both have rechargeable batteries. I have Shimano Index shifters on my non-ebikes, and I appreciate the SRAM shifter on the Ultra 1000, because I think the SRAM is easier to operate than the Shimano with thick...

    Plugging in heated snowmobile helmet visor to front light wire of Ultra 1000?

    Thanks for the information. I contacted Bombardier Recreational Products (the helmet manufacturer) who informed me to contact the vendor (Martin Motor Sports), but I got no response about the volts for the Ski-Doo Modular 3 visor. I am concerned about my glasses fitting into goggles, and I...
